Dedee: I'm playing BT2 from the remastered trilogy. Legacy mode, "Automap disabled" and "Save at guild only" unchecked.
The arrow clues are all there, only the message about party size appeared only once and I can't do anything to make it appear again. It's probably nothing game-changing but it drives me crazy that I saw it once and can't make it appear again, regardless of what I've done so far. I think it's either a bug or a random event (although I don't think there are random events in BT, excepts battles, of course).
If I enter the snare with seven chars, will I just die after running out of time and have no idea why or are there hints about party size within the snare?
There's an NPC who will offer to join your party; he won't join if you have a full party, unless one of those characters is a monster you can drop. There's some clues elsewhere (not in the snare) about this particular NPC.
